Road trip

Day 1: Road trip down South to Tuross Heads with the Vietnamese-Australian dragon boating team. The group bonding for the new year. Lunch at Kiama beach. Stopped by Chinaman white sand beach at Jervis Bay; one of Australia best kept secret beach. After dinner getting drunk and getting out of control.

Day 2: Doddy the dog going around waking everyone up, breakfast is ready. Then head down the One Tree Beach. Back for lunch and out for more jetskiing fun.

Mad about you

Its a dry and hot day when I stepped out of the office. I picked up a caesar salad and an ice cold drink for Maria on the way home, and delivering it to her office. No doubt I'm still crazy about the girl.

Toukley race

Dragon Boating race at Toukley hosted by the Central Coast Seadragons. All those trainings really paid off for us, our team ranked 2nd in category B of the Open Tournament. It was a tremendous efforts by the team and coaches considering that we're still a youth team playing against the best teams in NSW. Our focus now is on the next upcoming race during Lunar New Year.

After the race we headed to Avoca Beach to timeout and wave surfing in dangerous rip currents - heaps of fun though.

We spent the night over at Karisa parents' holiday house, it has a cool view overlooking Palm Beach. We made our own dinner, spike our own drinks and making each other drink till silly. The memorable moment were Linda and Karisa full on pashing each others while playing Truth or Dare - all the guys goes "Oooh oooh oooh..", nothing beats a good lesbian action.

The next morning I separated from the group and joining Vivent, Thao, Jeff and friends for deep sea fishing, unfortunately it was cancelled due to high wind, so we hire boat and fish at Brooklyn instead. Line fishing with my toes. Ending the 2 days adventure at Vicent's eating our catch.

Spoil one

Going shopping for little sister mountain bike. She's the spoil one, cause shes the only girl in the family.

Rock up to Tuesday evening training session. It was a moderate southeast to northeast winds at 5 knots.

Rego

Pay my trustworthy motor mechanic a visit, Huyen Motor and Repairs at Villawood. Renewing my rego, inssurance is abit less this year cause I hold a current gold driver licence - no accident, just parking tickets.

Facts about Krispy Kreme doughnuts - In 1933, Vernon Carver Rudolph founded Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation, he died in 1973, but had no estate plan for his family. As a result, Krispy Kreme had to be sold and Beatrice Foods Company of Chicago eventually acquired the company in 1976, and its family influence was lost. He failed to create a plan that would preserve and protect his business interests for his family. Today Krispy Kreme doughnut franchises grew internationally expanding their branches in Australia.

One of such branch is located in Liverpool (next to where I live), there's this cute Asian girl working there. I visits there frequently, on a lucky day I get served by her :P

Coffee at Brigten-Le-Sand beach.

Australia Day spectacular fireworks

Firstly, my congratulations to Anh Khoa on winning the prestigious Young Australian of the Year 2005 award. This morning I received an email message from Mr Hoang, congratulating Anh Khoa and inviting Khoa to the annual Cinefest in Washington DC hosted by IBM. I already forward the message.

I'm driving to the country side, visiting Dad, he's at Uncle Mac's farm.

Called up Maria asking her to join me watching the fireworks tonight, but she stood me up. I went without her anyway, the fireworks was spectacular. Happy Australia Day.
